The purpose of the NNEMS program is to:
- Provide students with practical research opportunities and experiences in an EPA office or laboratory
- Increase public awareness of and involvement in environmental issues
- Encourage qualified individuals to pursue environmental careers
- Help defray the costs associated with the pursuit of academic programs related
to the field of environmental protection, such as pollution control, science,
engineering, technology, social science, and specialty areas
Each year, the NNEMS program offers research projects developed and sponsored by EPA Headquarters
in Washington, D.C. and in EPA's ten regional offices and laboratories throughout the United States. The
projects are specifically narrow in scope, allowing students to complete the research
project while working full-time at EPA during the summer or part-time during the
school year.
